Inside the Outset: Evoking a Space of Passage is a project by artist and filmmaker Rosa Barba following an invitation by Point Centre for Contemporary Art in Nicosia and curator Mirjam Varadinis to propose and realize a project in Cyprus.

The work proposed by the artist in 2013, started in 2014 and consists of two parts: a film and a long-term open-air cinema installation. The project was then presented to the Italian Council and received the first prize at the international competition (Third Edition) in 2018, and was awarded a grant from DGAAP (Directorate General for Contemporary Art and Architecture and Urban Peripheries), Italy.

Barba’s film is exclusively shot in Cyprus, including underwater shots of the Mazotos shipwreck, as well as aerial shots from archaeological sites. It is an investigation into the loaded, transforming topography that is already palpable in the landscape, before we actually understand what language it creates for our society. In that, the film follows Barba’s artistic approach to examine liminal states which manifest in between contested spaces, both mentally and geographically, in order to allow for a new perspective. The inaugural screening took place in Autumn 2021 at the open-air cinema installation in the Buffer Zone.

Thirty Seven Little Films - CYPRUS

Cyprus

Liar - Silia Kapsis

Selection method: Internal

Has it been heard live? No

Semi final # 1

Drawn: 1st

The Cypriot film begins with Silia out and about detecting liars everywhere. First, a slim lady in a designer one piece swimsuit is being fat shamed. Not clear who the liar is here but they both look guilty. Silia turns to see some bloke checking out a lady clearly portrayed as a cheater. Later, she identifies a lady being forcibly escorted by her partner through the hotel.

Silia takes all this in her stride and changes into an attention seeking outfit and some how her appearance makes the baggage handling staff magically dance with her. She enters the hotel restaurant where all the above mentioned ladies rise up from their seats and dance with Silia like she is the Messiah.

I'm not sure how I feel about this song. There is nothing wrong with it, but there is nothing special either. It feels like a bland dance number that has been seen many times. I don't like putting down the artists and the musicians, but in this case it feels like like a song my numbers kind of thing. Yes, Silia is youthful, she can dance and she can most likely sing. But I'm not enthused by this entry in the slightest.

Qualifier: may not.
